Two for the Win

Clearly the costume designer has no clue what real skiers or anyone on or near a ski resort wears. I could barely stand to watch this film with characters who are supposed to be world class skiers wearing cheap outdoor (not ski) clothing with cheesy, low quality details. People in the lodge are all wearing cheap acrylic sweaters and Walmart necktubes. Then there is the disconnect between the ski scenes filmed on the little hill in Ottawa, cut to the character looking off in the distance and suddenly it's freaking Switzerland. Major Helly Hansen product placement. Hilarious.

I love Trevor Donovan, I watched quite a few of his movies, even his parts as Teddy Montgomery. I have to say he had the least amount of chemistry with Charlotte Sullivan. To be honest I don't know how good actor he is in reality as his characters don't really have a lot of depth, it's enough that he looks dashing, but Charlotte is just so wooden in this one This movie felt like they were not really there, just kinda "let's do another Hallmark movie". Their "romance" was not believable, no sparks, nothing. I frequently found myself checking my phone as it was boring. I'm sorry Trevor but I want to see you playing something else now. 4 stars for the scenery.

Obvious stunt double for downhill skiing. Should have done the same for cross-country or at least get someone to show them how it's done.

It was a movie that was very well done. I loved the story and the editing and the music. The characters and their relationships were quite deep, and as a guy, I loved that the storytelling of this leaned more on the guy's side. The roles were a bit reversed from the typical Hallmark formula and I loved it.

Trevor Donovan's character seemed to be made the weak one. The chemistry with Kayla was lacking and stressed. Same with her unattractive sister and the unconfident "doctor". I am a skier and was really looking forward to a competitive, romantic banter with this Hallmark movie. Beautiful scenery though!!!
